Reviews for the Toshiba Portege R30-A-17R
Source: Notebookreview.com Archive.org version
The Toshiba Portegé R30 is ultimately recommendable over competing Ultrabooks only in certain situations. Its potential for high performance is a major selling point; unlike Ultrabooks, the R30 uses socketed full wattage Intel processors up to the i7 quad-core which is impressive considering its small 13.3″ chassis. Our review unit was the minimum configuration with only 4GB of RAM and a slow 500GB hard drive but Toshiba offers it with up to 16GB of RAM and a much faster mSATA SSD. We also noted the R30’s strong chassis, magnesium alloy build materials, built-in optical drive, docking station support, functional keyboard layout and great tracking stick.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.
The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.
